Unfortunately I've just seen some very sad news posted on the 
WildbirdSingapore mailing-list, the 'Father of Digiscoping' Laurence 
Poh  passed away earlier today.

He finally succumbed to a grave illness after battling for several
years.

I'm sure many birders will be aware of his great contributions to 
'digiscoping' in Malaysia and the rest of the world, he was the direct 
inspiration for me to start digiscoping in Australia and was very 
generous with advice and images. He will be sadly missed, but hopefully 
his work will be an inspiration to all.

I offer my condolences to his wife and family,

Tom Tarrant
